Viewing the creche has always been a magical Christmas event for children... the baby Jesus lying in a manger, Mary and Joseph attend to him followed by angels, shepherds, animals and then the wise kings bearing gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. All are bathed in golden light.This picture is from and old Tasha Tudor Christmas card and shows the way children experience the creche, with awe, wonder and serenity. Another way children may experience the nativity is at a Christmas play. I know we all see this every year... but the scene from Charlie Brown Christmas where Linus tells Charlie Brown what Christmas is really all about gets me smiling every time. Happy Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and Happy Holidays Everyone!!!

And in the spirit of the season which we hope will last all year, we thank you Holly and Cari at BookScoops for this lovely Butterfly Blog Award award that recognizes some of the coolest blogs I know. We get to pass it on to some really cool blogs (which of course there are soooo many cool blogs, but here are some goodies.)

Hi Susan, Thanks for writing to say hello! I'm glad you enjoy our blog:) Kim and I update it nearly every day so we hope you will find many new fun and interesting posts here. Enjoy the holiday season!

Hi Camille, I often comment on older posts too: ) I adore Tasha Tudor and the sweet simplicity of her drawings. Quite a few of her books are out of print now and I come across them sometimes in vintage bookstores.
